Woman holding an Interpane thermotrope window
Thermotrope window (image 1 of 2). Researcher Helen Rose Wilson holding an Interpane thermotrope window. A thermotrope window will darken when the temperature reaches a certain point. This will reflect any sunlight which would normally enter a building. This is useful for controlling room temperatures. The glazing is based on a heat reactive layer. Below a pre-set temperature the layer will remain clear as seen in the image. Above this temperature the layer will become cloudy, thus reflecting the sunlight. This glazing was developed at the Institute for Solar Energy (ISE), Freiburg, Germany. See photo T830/103 showing the window when it is opaque

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating image showcases researcher Helen Rose Wilson holding an Interpane thermotrope window, a groundbreaking invention in the field of industrial technology. This innovative glazing, developed at the Institute for Solar Energy (ISE) in Freiburg, Germany, is designed to control room temperatures by reflecting sunlight that would typically enter a building. The thermotrope window features a heat reactive layer that darkens when the temperature reaches a specific threshold. In this particular photo print, we see Wilson confidently displaying the transparent state of the window. Below its pre-set temperature, the glazing remains clear and allows natural light to permeate through effortlessly. However, as soon as the temperature surpasses this point, an intriguing transformation occurs - the once-transparent glass becomes cloudy and opaque due to its reflective properties. This cutting-edge technology has immense potential for various applications beyond commercial use. By effectively regulating room temperatures through its heat-sensitive capabilities, thermotropic windows like these can significantly contribute to energy efficiency and sustainability efforts worldwide. Science Photo Library proudly presents this remarkable snapshot capturing both scientific ingenuity and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a testament to human innovation in harnessing nature's elements for practical purposes while simultaneously enhancing our understanding of materials science and their real-world applications.
